The North Sea Region Programme <strong>2021</strong>-<strong>2027</strong><br />
centres on four thematic priorities. Each priority<br />
includes one to three specific objectives.<br />
All projects funded by the programme must<br />
address one of the priorities <strong>and</strong> match at least<br />
one of the specific objectives.<br />
In addition, we encourage you to consider if any<br />
of the spotlight <strong>themes</strong> apply to your project idea.<br />
